Oh. My. God. I love international food. Which is a plus because international food tends to love me right back.
Tahini. That is the word of the day. Familiarizing yourself with it. Become part of it. Eat it. Tahini is a sesame paste that is ground from either shucked or un-shucked seeds (depending on what culture you are getting it from). It is high in proteins and complex carbs. It has a nice nutty taste and when combine with the ingredients in this sauce has the perfect satisfying nutty after taste that can throw a sauce right over the edge of good into greatness.
Sauce (4 servings):
1/4 cup of Tahini
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 tbsp agave
2 tbsp water
Combine all of these into a food processor and blend well.
Dish:
4 cups of assorted fruit. (I used oranges, banana, pears and green grapes)
1/4 cup of toasted, unsweetened coconut flakes.
Arrange fruit in serving bowls. Drizzle with Tahini sauce and top it off with the toasted coconut.

Wow, this looks amazing. I've been using tahini a lot in salad dressings and I make hummus every week, but haven't thought to use in this kind of sweet way... Thanks!
